Mind. Blown.

Yes, very cool!!  I'm a little too sketched out by them winged beasts to test their resolve.

I have to say, that was some kind of special.

Thats a Stunning shot. No blur or anything!

I like it!  I'd also be scared that the hawk would take my Mavic out  lol

I had a buzzard take mine out. It's now in for service.

That was really awesome!!! Good shot!!

Any video?

Lucky shot, surprised it didn't have a go at the drone getting that close.

euh and those who live in countries where there is no such thing as a hawk

Good thing we have plenty of those here in NL

Cool surprised it didn't go bird of prey on the drone. It wasn't even bothered by it

Wow! Nice

Wow. Nice

Very cool!

brilliant !

Holy cow!!!
You are right!!!
I never knew that!!!

So next time flying i will hunt those hawks down

That is awesome!!!

Amazing just the pure grave of the hawk and the beautiful steady hand in capturing it

I would be too scared to actually not fly away if I saw a hawk coming...

Amazing wow

That’s just awesome!!! Anybody that does not know how a Bird of prey hovers should watch more Wildlife Documentaries!

Who hasn't seen a hawk in flight. Oh that's right city folks

I don't know.  This one sat on our hotel window sill in central Hong Kong long enough for me to get my camera (DSLR) and take a few shots

Back to the OP - absolutely stunning video.  Thank you for sharing and inspiring.  I had a few small birds swoop at my Mavic and got nervous.  You made the most of it and took a great video.

Beautiful shot yourself! Thanks for the compliment!

This is the coolest drone footage I've seen today. I have posted a crazy chase on my instagram with a pelican on sports mode, but the bird was scared so it was much harder to get clear footage like you did. If you want to check my instagram, i do have some CRAZY UNSEEN footage too that i think you guys will enjoy

Here are a few preview

Wow.. inspiring and amasing video.. I would not have thought this to be possible.  The bird has no fear, it's top of its food chain and does not give the Mavic any attention.  So cool thanks for sharing.

So happy with the Mavic and how quiet it is compared to Phantom 4 pro's.

That's an interesting observation I've not heard before.  I wonder if the wife will see the same justification for me _needing_ to now purchase one..
"sure honey... it's a lot quieter than my current P4P so this is why I need to buy one.. "
:-)
LOL could work..

Great video, Hawk never seemed bothered by the presence of the drone

Amazing video.  Probably the best video I've seen shot yet with a MP.  Stunning creature and bird of prey.   The shot looked stellar.

Just brilliant well done

Great shot

Great shot

I stay away from birds, but geez that is an amazing video.
That is so awesome.

Great footage and well done it didn't attack your drone.  I've found that Pigeons and Seagulls don't like drone's and get a bit to close for comfort for my liking!

Awesome'ness!!  

Thank you very much for this video. It seems so unreal... It was not an easy one and you did a good job piloting the mavic the way you did so clsoe to this beautiful bird.
This is the kind of video that makes me happy to have bought this drone.

Mind boggling footage.Awesome

This footage is truly remarkable. At one point, when the hawk hovers in air, it looks unreal - like CGI footage!

the hawk is questioning: what's this guy?

really great footage...
